Drain and rinse the corn and black beans, adding them to a mixing bowl. Note that we're only using 1/2 can of black beans in this version.

Finely chop the 3 tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, 1 jalapeno, and 12-15 cilantro sprigs; adding them to the mixing bowl. I usually twist off and discard the thicker, bottom portion of the cilantro stems but keep the upper stems.
